Inside the 10 stunning UK beaches in new Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs film The Salt Path
Based on a true story, the movie will follow Raynor Winn and her husband Moth's journey along the South West Coast Path - England's longest walking trail - after they lose their home and Moth is diagnosed with a rare neurodegenerative condition.
Raynor detailed their mammoth, 630-mile hike in her book, The Salt Path, describing the trek - which stretches from Minehead to Poole.
And the movie is also sure to showcase some of the UK's most spectacular nature, as the South West Coast Path features breathtaking coves, rugged cliffs and stunning beaches.
Find out where you can have your own Salt Path moment this year with this selection of some of the best beaches likely to star in the film...
Minehead, Somerset
The South West Coast Path kicks off in Minehead so Minehead Beach was always likely to appear in the film.
Sometimes known as The Strand, the sandy beach ends at Minehead Harbour and is an ideal sandcastle-building spot.
The beach is located very close to Exmoor National Park, so holidaymakers can combine their seaside break with a stop in local woodland.
Porlock Weir, Somerset
Just under 10 miles away from Minehead Beach, the beach at Porlock Weir is another key spot along the South West Coast Path.
The pebble beach is backed by marshland and is a popular spot for birdwatchers to visit.
Porlock is known for its oysters so walkers might want to stop at Porlock Bay Oysters for a dressed oyster.
Heddon's Mouth, Devon
The Salt Path is based on Raynor and her husband Moth's journey along the 630-mile South West Coast Path, which is England's longest walking trail
Featured in the Salt Path, Heddon's Mouth earns its name from the valley where the River Heddon joins the sea.
The rocky cove is situated on the coast in North Devon and tourists can reach it by hiking through ancient woodland.
A visitor wrote on Tripadvisor: 'The coastal path here is spectacular, steep climbs but wonderful views once you get up to some of the highest cliffs in England.'
Ilfracombe, Devon
Ilfracombe, Devon, is home to several beaches, but Tunnels Beach is one of the most unique, having earned its name as it's accessed through tunnels dug by the Victorians
A seaside resort in Devon, Ilfracombe sits along the South West Coast Path.
The town is home to several beaches, but Tunnels Beach is one of the most unique.
The picturesque beach earned its name as it's accessed through tunnels dug by the Victorians.
Ilfracombe is also home to Rapparee Cove which is a small shingle beach close to the harbour.
Clovelly, Devon
The South West Coast Path also runs through Clovelly, a historic fishing village in Devon.
The picturesque village was owned by royalty until the 1200s and is now completely car-free.
Clovelly Beach is a small pebble beach that's located below the village and is a popular sunbathing spot.
Hartland Quay, Devon
Another spot in Devon, Hartland Quay is a pebble beach backed by impressive cliffs.
There are many rockpools to explore on the beach.
Walkers can stop at the Hartland Quay Hotel & Bar to refuel at the Wreckers Retreat Bar and enjoy incredible views of the beach.
But visitors should exercise caution as the area is known for having some of the UK's roughest seas.
Port Quin, Cornwall
Based on the true story featured in Raynor Winn's The Salt Path, the movie will showcase some of the UK's most spectacular nature
Another breathtaking spot along the South West Coast Path, Port Quin is a pretty cove between Port Isaac and Polzeath.
Once a busy fishing port, Port Quin is now a much quieter spot along the walking route.
The National Trust reveals: 'Port Quin is a peaceful sheltered inlet.
'Surrounded by spectacular coastline, Port Quin Bay sweeps westwards towards the distinctive headland of the Rumps.'
Fistral Beach, Cornwall
Fistral Beach, Cornwall, is known for its consistent waves and tends to get very busy during the summer months
An award-winning beach in Newquay, Fistral Beach is an especially popular spot with surfers.
The long sandy beach is known for its consistent waves and tends to get very busy during the summer months.
A tourist wrote on Tripadvisor: 'My favourite beach in the world.
'I have visited this beach many times before, the vibe here is just unmatched.'
Holywell Bay, Cornwall
Both Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs were spotted filming scenes for the Salt Path at this beautiful beach in 2023.
The gorgeous beach has rolling sand dunes and is backed by grassy dunes.
It's a popular spot with people who want to explore sea caves.
Visit Cornwall says: 'On sunny days, Holywell Bay might as well be paradise.'
Rame Head, Cornwall
There's a medieval chapel at the top of the headland in Rame Head, Cornwall, and visitors will have an incredible bird's-eye view of the coast in both directions
A coastal headland in southeast Cornwall, Rame Head is set to feature in the upcoming Salt Path film.
Visit Cornwall describes the beautiful spot as 'Cornwall's Forgotten Corner', as it's often missed by tourists.

Bournemouth: The seaside town 'changed' by immigration - where non-British-born population rose nearly 50%
The British seaside town of Bournemouth has a complex relationship with migration. It needs migrants to work in the tourist industry, which is vital for the economy. Some residents say it's always been a multicultural place, but others question if too many people coming here undermines the cultural identity of the town. On Bournemouth seafront, we find that immigration is something that some white British people want to talk about - but not openly, and not on camera. One woman, who knows the town well, said: "Bournemouth has changed because of the migration of people who have come here. The whole atmosphere of the place has changed. "It's strange to hear foreign languages spoken so frequently in our country. To not understand anything that's being said around you is disconcerting," she added. I asked her if it made her uncomfortable, and if so, why? Is it the scale of migration which is bothering her? "Visually, that seems to be the case," she says. "We see what we see. I don't see many white British people." I'm trying to get to the heart of what's troubling her. "It's hard to define. I remember how it was. I remember the community. I'm worrying that our society as Brits is being undermined by the people who are coming in," she says. For decades, Britain has wrestled with the thorny issue of migration - who should be allowed into the country and from where. The change in the demographic of the town is clear. Between the 2011 and 2021 censuses, the non-British-born population in Bournemouth's local authority went up by 47%, and UK net migration has continued to rise significantly since then. Post-Brexit changes Nine years ago - just before Brexit - we visited Bournemouth's Cumberland Hotel. Back then, the staff were mostly EU citizens - many from Eastern Europe. Returning to the hotel, we speak to the manager, Sean Nell. He said: "A lot of our workforce were EU nationals and after Brexit, a lot of them left - they found other work other than hospitality. "A lot of our workforce we're seeing now that we can recruit from is probably South Asia." One of the staff is barman Shardul Tomas, who came to the UK from India in 2022 on a student visa. Whilst studying for his master's degree, he began working at the hotel. "It's good to come here and experience new culture and do what we wish to do in our fields….after Brexit, the Europeans were less, so we were able to get good jobs," he said. 'We are replaced' Nine years ago, Margaret Kubik was the assistant restaurant manager at the Cumberland. We tracked her down and discovered she's now working as a self-employed driving instructor. She said: "When we met nine years ago, we as the Polish people were very much accused of taking the jobs from English people. Now we are replaced by the South Asian people." 'It's not England any more' For some Bournemouth residents, hotels housing asylum seekers have almost become the focal point for wider concerns about migration - as is happening in other towns across the UK. Visiting a protest outside an asylum hotel, we found people are less camera shy than the woman on the seafront - seemingly more comfortable talking about migration among a crowd of like-minded people. In reference to asylum seekers, one protester, shaking her head, told us: "We don't know who these people are. Who are they? It makes you feel like it's not England any more." For a couple of hours, two angry groups face off over their differing views on immigration. But not everyone shares concerns about the impact of migration on the town. Kevin Maidment was born in Bournemouth. I asked if he feels the fabric of the town has changed. Protesters 'need somebody to hate' He said: "No, because it's always been a place where foreign language students visit. "I think this lot down the road, they need somebody to hate… now it's refugees, 10 years ago it was the Poles and the Eastern Europeans," he said. Watching the two groups with opposing views trying to drown each other out is a man called Colin. He lives in a flat between two asylum hotels, a few minutes walk apart. "Personally, the immigrants aren't a problem on the street or anything like that at all," Colin says, referring to those seeking asylum. "But people are fed up with the cost. The cost is a big problem because it's so high." But with more councils vowing to launch legal challenges over the government's use of asylum hotels, the immigration protest movement shows no sign of fizzling out.

Celebs Go Dating airs emotional scenes as stars break down in tears over 'triggering' past relationships and difficult childhoods
The Celebs Go Dating agency was turmoil during Wednesday night's episode after two stars broke down in tears in a candid discussion about their past. Olivia Hawkins, 30, admitted to feeling 'triggered' by her past relationships while Sam Prince, 28, said he found himself 'never being enough' for his parents which has left him 'sensitive' when it comes to romance. Speaking to experts Anna Williamson and Dr Tara, former Love Island star Liv discussed her date with Louis Russell - which ended in tears after he kissed someone else during another date. 'It's a trigger of people I've dated from the past,' she explained as she wiped away her tears. 'I've always wanted that instant connection with someone and I really feel that with him, and I know it's so early but I don't think it's the right situation for me.' Liv recalled when she discovered a man she had been dating in the past had a partner. She continued: 'But I just kept going back. I just really wanted to change him and I lost myself a bit.' Meanwhile, Sam headed out on a date with a girl called Annie, who went on to brand him 'nasty' and rate their night a 2/10. He explained: 'As much as I have this persona where people watch me on TV and think I don't give a f**k, I give more of a f**k then ever and I'm very sensitive. 'When I'm in love with someone, I'm so in love. Sometimes I feel like I'm too in love. I rely on that person for everything, and that's where I think I've gone wrong.' Sam then explained how past relationships have left him feeling 'resentful' after giving too much, which he thinks stems from 'never feeling like he was enough' for his parents. Former Love Island star Olivia and Too Hot To Handle 's Louis immediately hit it off after they landed in Ibiza to film the E4 dating show and shared a smooch. However, during Monday evening's instalment, their connection was put to the test as Louis went on a date with a gorgeous brunette, who was later revealed to be Jazmine Nichol. Jazmine entered the Casa Amor Love Island villa in 2022 as a bombshell; however, she failed to find a spark with any of the boys and was dumped from the villa. Sam then explained how past relationships have left him feeling 'resentful' after giving too much, which he thinks stems from 'never feeling like he was enough' for his parents Previously, Olivia and Too Hot To Handle's Louis, 24, immediately hit it off after they landed in Ibiza to film the E4 dating show and shared a smooch Louis and Liv had a very strong connection on the hit E4 show, and things between the pair got steamy in a short matter of time. A show insider told The Sun at the time: 'It usually takes a few weeks for things to spice up, but not with these two. 'Within 48 hours of arriving in Ibiza, the sexual spark between them was obvious. They clearly couldn't resist each other.'

The woman who made Katie Price: Terminally ill mother Amy whose been her daughter's constant support, her damning verdict on Peter Andre and her fears for Princess
She describes herself as an 'ordinary mum, wife and granny' who adores dogs, horses and yoga, but Amy Price would be the first to admit that being a mother to her first-born daughter 'came with a lot more than I bargained for'. Amy, 73, has had to put up with more than the average set of motherly worries after watching her daughter endure multiple failed marriages, suicide attempts, addiction battles, and family feuds, as well as watching her morph into a completely different person thanks to her numerous plastic surgeries. Amy was diagnosed with an incurable condition, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), in 2017 and had a lung transplant in 2022, and any hope of peace in the final years of her life have been dashed due to an ongoing family feud between Katie and her former husband Peter Andre, with their daughter Princess caught in the middle The teenager has captivated the nation with the release of her docu-series The Princess Diaries, but Amy has expressed her concern about Princess having the same management team as her father Peter. In her 2023 book The Last Word, she accused the team of CAN of slanting media coverage in Peter's favour, and said she worries about the cycle being repeated with Princess and her brother Junior. 'My greatest wish for my grandchildren is for them to find their own way in life and I sometimes wonder if they might be better off seeking out new management who can offer a fresh perspective on their careers,' she said. Amy has also made no secret of her feelings towards Peter. In her 2023 book The Last Word, she accused the singer of using Katie for fame, putting on a Mr Nice Guy public persona and having a 'fragile ego'. For her part, Princess has insisted that despite a difficult childhood, she is now 'best friends' with her mother, but there's no doubt that grandmother Amy is the only one whose support for her famous daughter has never wavered. Indeed, it was Amy who supported Katie when she expressed an interest in modelling from the age of 14 and her supportive mother Amy did everything she could to helop her daughter's dream come true. Amy revealed Katie suffered a huge setback as she took her around the modelling agencies in London at the time due to being 'too short'. Despite this, the TV personality found fame three years later at the age of 17 as she began glamour modelling as Jordan on Page 3, even to her mother Amy's horror as she 'hated topless modelling with a passion'. 'When she was 14 we went round the modelling agencies in London but they all said she was too short. So she sent pictures to a glamour agency and at 17 ended up in The Sun. I hated the topless modelling with a passion', she told The Times. Amy previously described Jordan as a 'celebrity second skin, covering up the more vulnerable Kate' as she admitted she 'didn't recognize the mouthy, exhibitionist woman', who was in fact her daughter. In contrast, Amy worked for Margaret Thatcher in the Eighties, Daily Mail previously revealed she was brought in as a temp for the Conservative Party conference in Brighton. Amy revealed Katie suffered a huge step back as she took her around the modelling agencies in London due to being 'too short' Despite this, the TV personality found fame at 17 glamour modelling as Jordan on Page 3; pictured 2003 She was given the role of editing transcripts of MPs' speeches to ensure accuracy before they were released to the press. As part of her role she covered all speeches given from Mrs Thatcher and other MPs. Following finding fame, Katie has been married three times, had a string of 'tosser' boyfriends, spent over £500,000 on cosmetic surgeries and has been to rehab twice, but her mother Amy is determined not to die before the star 'gets her life together'. 'What we didn't understand was why she had all the breast surgeries, because she didn't need them. At 17 a photographer told her she needed to be bigger. I was so angry. 'She thought it was the only way she'd be successful. I've disagreed with every procedure she's ever had'. Amy added. She has also survived bank-ruptcy, multiple divorces, a close shave with prison and attempted suicide on more than one occasion. In 2017, Amy was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and medics told her she had a life expectancy of up to five years. Though her mum has disagreed with all of her surgeries, Amy has been supportive of Katie and her five children, who she welcomed with three different partners, Harvey, 22, with ex Dwight Yorke, Junior, 19, and Princess 17, with ex-husband Peter Andre, and Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10, with ex-husband Kieran Hayler. Katie and Amy's close relationship They might not always see eye to eye on Katie's love life or on her ever changing appearance, but Katie and her mum Amy have always shared a close bond. Amy has previously described herself as an 'ordinary mum, wife and granny' who adores dogs, horses and yoga. She lives close by the sea in a 'cosy little South Coast bungalow' where Katie regular visits to my appropriately named, 'Pop In House'. But in all honesty, Amy's life is a far cry from completely normal because she is the mother of Katie Price - which has admitted 'came with a lot more than I bargained for'. Katie and older brother Daniel are the children of Amy and dad Ray Infield. Their father left the family when Katie was four years old. In 1988 her mother married builder Paul Price, after which she acquired his surname and welcomed half-sister Sophie. Dan mainly keeps out of the spotlight but once appeared on her Mucky Mansion reality show and blamed Katie for his 'grey hair. He said: 'As a family we are always there to support behind the scenes. I can tell Kate straight how it is. Kate doesn't always listen but I'm sure she acknowledges, whether she acts on that information I or we as a family provide. 'The reason for the grey hair is obviously having Kate as a younger sister through the highs and lows of her career and life.' Dan added: 'It's very difficult to be on the sidelines to watch the layers unfold to where she become. As a brother I can only be proud that she was able to turn things around.' Meanwhile her sister Sophie, co-hosts Katie's podcast with her and is a proud mother of two. Katie and her mum Amy have been spotted out and about enjoying shopping trips and pamper days together as well as making joint TV appearances. Amy previously said Katie 'doesn't have many friends' as she tries to be there for her when she can though she doesn't always take her advice making her feel 'powerless'. Her mother has also helped her care for her son Harvey over the years, who was found to be blind, has septo-optic dysplasia, is on the autistic spectrum, gains weight easily, and without regular medication he would die. Since being diagnosed with IPF and told she had years to live, Amy admitted out of her three children Katie took it the hardest. Katie's 'toxic' boyfriends and husbands Amy previously spoke about her famous daughter's life in her book The Last Word and she didn't hold back when sharing her opinion when it came to Katie's ex-husbands. Amy branded Katie's first husband Peter as 'controlling', while also giving scathing comments about second husband Alex, third husband Kieran and on/off fiancé Carl. She claimed singer Peter used his relationship with Katie for his 'own gain', before 'quitting' while he was ahead. While Kieran and Carl 'craved fame' and used her daughter as a 'springboard' for their 'social media feeds'. Katie fell madly in love with Pete, 52, after meeting on I'm A Celebrity in 2004 and the pair got married in 2006. They went on to have two children; son Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, before they split in 2009. Amy has claimed 'one-hit wonder' Peter, who found fame with his hit single Mysterious Girl in the 90's, 'saw an opportunity' by coupling up with her daughter as his 'career was in decline'. She wrote in her book: 'From the word go, something didn't feel right about Peter; I had an inkling that he wasn't who he claimed to be.' Elsewhere her mother revealed that before Katie left to be helicoptered into the jungle, she told her, 'whatever you do, do not end up with him'. Amy slammed Peter's career and added: 'His career was in decline and I think he saw an opportunity in my daughter, an opportunity he was quick to seize.' By the time Kate emerged from I'm a Celebrity in early December 2004, she had fallen hook, line and sinker for Peter. She explained how the model was 'hypnotized' by him and believes her love was genuine while Pete's 'felt more business-like'. Amy also claimed that while I'm A Celebrity was airing she had 'an unusual' lunch meeting with Peter's agent who suggested they also manage Katie if the two got together. Following their split, Peter went on to have three children with his current wife Dr Emily. Admitting she was on the 'rebound' Katie started dating cage fighter Alex Reid, 50, a mere eight weeks after her split from Pete. Following a whirlwind romance the pair wed in Las Vegas in January 2010 but the marriage fell apart less than a year later. Two years later Katie fell for Argentinian model Leandro, 39, after meeting him at Elton John's Oscars party in LA. Revealing she bedded him on the first night, the pair went on to get engaged before they split in 2012. Later that year, Katie met part-time stripper and plasterer Kieran, who is nine years her junior. The pair exchanged vows a mere five weeks later with Katie already pregnant with the couple's first son Jett. However, in 2017 the pair announced they were going to divorce, three years after she found out about Kieran's affairs with her friends Jane Poutney and Chrissy Thomas. In July 2019, Katie announced she was engaged again to personal trainer Kris Boyson, 36, after a year of dating. The reality star - who was still legally married to third husband Kieran at the time- made the shock announcement during an appearance on Loose Women. Their engagement was short-lived however as the couple split in November of that year, with Katie admitting to Kris that she cheated on him. The reality star went on to find love with Carl Woods, 36, in July 2020 and they became engaged the following year. Katie is now in a relationship with MAFS UK star JJ Slater, 32, who she found love with in 2024. Amy has previously begged Katie to 'settle' down and 'get her life together' before she dies. Speaking on Loose Women in 2017, she said: 'I'm not going to peg off until she's settled. I think its about time you got yourself together properly and took life more seriously and be settled.' Amy's terminal illness Amy was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in 2017 and had a lung transplant in 2022. Katie has since given an update this year explaining that her mum has some good days and she has some bad days as she is 'switched on but cannot do things like she used to'. In March this year, Katie gave an update on her mum's ongoing challenges on The Katie Price Show. She said: 'I do feel for you mum, because people have to understand what my mum's gone through, like her brain is just so active and still switched on. She can't do the things that she used to do, which is frustrating for her. 'Now here's an example, because I am a patient person but when my mother teases me and says let's go look at the shops in Isle of Wight, shall I take my walker or wheelchair and I'm like 'no we're taking your wheelchair because I'm not taking an hour'.' Amy responded: 'It's not doing me any good because I'm meant to walk to help myself.' Following revealing Amy's illness, Katie vowed to quit vaping to live a healthier lifestyle as it's 'no good for you' and found it 'disrespectful' towards her mother. She said: 'I've been vaping for a year, and it's no good for you - especially when my mum has had a lung transplant. It's disrespectful doing this in front of my mum. 'I've decided that today is the day I am throwing this battery, chemical, addictive, horrible thing away. I am now doing vapes no more from today. 'I've got the strength to get rid of them. Join me. It's going in the bin, that's it. I've cleared all of my vapes out of the car and everything.' Amy's life was put at risk when she was on the way to receive her organ transplant at the hospital as climate activists blocked the road. Katie explained that Amy only had two weeks to live at the time and 'nearly died' because you only have three hours to get to hospital for a transplant. While she was being rushed to the hospital, the road was blocked by Just Stop Oil, who had staged a protest on the M25. Amy - who had suffered from chronic lung condition idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis - had just weeks left to live until she found a donor for a lung. Speaking on the Private Parts podcast, she said: 'Mum had two weeks left to live at the time. She found a donor. She was waiting five years for a lung. 'It was the day all the oil protesters were on the M25 and you have three hours to get to hospital otherwise you can't have the donor [organ]. 'So they had to get an ambulance. When they were on the motorway, they didn't realise!' However, Katie went on to add that a heroic ambulance driver went on to save the day by cutting through to make sure she got to the hospital on time. She said: 'They had to go up the hard shoulder, and get an ambulance to get through it, because if you're not there you lose it [the lung].' Amy previously hailed the medical staff who carried out her operation as 'amazing' and also paid tribute to the regular faces she saw on every hospital appointment because they meant Katie could feel 'less worried' about her when she was unable to be by her side. Amy and granddaughter Princess Katie's daughter Princess is currently trying to create her own image away from her famous parents after dropping new ITV reality show, The Princess Diaries. Growing rumours of a 'rift' between Katie and Princess have been growing in recent weeks after Katie didn't appear at Princess' 18th birthday party. Reports then claimed the former glamour model was allegedly 'banned' from appearing on the nepo baby's fly-on-the-wall television series. Katie later claimed that it was her daughter's management who had told her not to appear on the show. Yet amid the swirling rumours about a family rift, Katie has called on Peter to sit down with her and 'squash their beef' for the sake of their family. Speaking on the latest on the latest episode of her Katie Price Show podcast, Katie - who is currently recovering from more facial surgery - shared: 'There's no reason why both parents just can't be there to support her.' She continued: 'Now this isn't about me. I have to clarify this. I don't care that I'm not in Princess's show. 'I don't need to raise my profile by being on Princess's show, I do enough stuff. 'All what I want to do, is just whatever my daughter does, and it's the same with Junior, I don't care if I'm in the background, but I want to watch her do her photo shoots, I wanna watch her do her signings, because that's what I did. 'And my mom and you and Nan used to come along and support, and I'm proud of her. And I just wanna be there with her because I now I feel that I've missed out on so much.' Katie went on: 'It's so not fair to bring Princess piggy in the middle. 'So I think it's about time all of us adults just sit down and talk about what their beef is with me and just get over it. 'Life would be more at peace because I don't have a problem. I just think life would be a better place. 'Well, I'm not saying we all have to be best buddies, best friends, but come on. For the sake of the children, there's room for everyone to support your kids. Do you know what I mean? 'I'm not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families.' MailOnline has contacted Peter's representatives comment. It is well known that Katie and Peter don't get on, but the ex model previously thanked her mother Amy for sticking up for her after her daughter Princess was burned as a three-year-old. The incident progressed quickly as soon police were involved after the toddler burned her back on a hot towel rail during a holiday to Switzerland. Amy accused Peter of over-reacting to the incident, insisting it was a minor injury, she told the Daily Mirror at the time: 'I don't understand why Pete is having a go at Kate. 'Her sister Sophie and I were the ones with Princess when it happened and I know it was a fluke accident - and just how minor it is.' She added: 'Princess went straight back to playing. She slept soundly without pain and a week later there was barely a mark on her.' After her mother leaped to her defence, Katie wrote on her Twitter page: 'Love my mum.' Following the incident, police were tipped off and visited Katie at home, but Peter insisted he wasn't the one who contacted them. In a statement on her website, Katie accused Peter of making the incident public to 'score points' and 'portray her as a bad mother.' His publicist Claire Powell said Peter only learned of the investigation when contacted by the police.
